Anger as cable car fire village awaits verdict

Witnesses to a cable car inferno that killed 155 people at a resort high in the Austrian Alps awaited the end of an 18-month-long trial with a mixture of anger and resignation today.

A court in Salzburg will tomorrow hand down verdicts on 16 cable car operators, technicians and government officials who prosecutors say were responsible through neglect. If convicted, they face up to five years in prison.
